Keeneland's Spring Meet starts this Friday and Lex Talk History, the official podcast of the Lexington History Museum welcomes back Keeneland Library director Roda Ferraro. The library is launching a new exhibit and education initiative, 'Raíces: The Making of Latino Legacies in Racing,' which showcases 100 groundbreaking Latino figures in the Thoroughbred racing and breeding industry from the late 1800s to today. Get a sneak peak and find out the latest LHM happenings in this fresh episode.

The 'Raices' exhibit features biographical vignettes and never-before-displayed photographs and memorabilia of men and women in the sport from across the Americas to highlight the breadth and depth of their indelible marks on the industry’s past, present, and future. Raíces – or roots – are emblematic of their respective stories, individual and collective heritage, and legacies sowed and sustained at every level of the sport.
